Chapter 47

"I'm really sorry for making you come all the way here."

Lin Yi apologized to the store manager, feeling somewhat embarrassed.

"What are you saying? Aren't you nearby? Was it necessary to make me come all the way here?"

The manager replied in a slightly displeased tone.

"I'm really sorry..."

Lin Yi bowed again and apologized: "Actually... I lied to you before, manager."

"Eh?" The manager was taken aback, trying to understand what was happening.

"There wasn't actually any accident... and there were no issues with the owner of any car."

Lin Yi confessed honestly: "I just happened to run into a girl I like, so..."

"How can you do that?" The manager frowned, visibly upset. "No matter how much you like her, you can't flirt during work hours. You could have left her your phone number and looked for her after your shift."

"If you do this, it will have a very negative impact on our store... Just now, a customer complained that you didn't deliver the order on time. Now Sato hasn't had a moment to breathe and already has to go out for another delivery."

"Shouldn't you think a little about others before doing something? Don't always be causing problems for others."

"..."

Facing the manager's reprimand, Lin Yi accepted it humbly.

"Boss."

Lin Yi noticed that the manager was getting overly emotional and decided to interrupt him.

"Eh? What is it?" the manager replied.

With an apologetic expression, Lin Yi handed over the keys: "I'm sorry for causing you trouble... Besides, I have a somewhat uncomfortable request."

"What uncomfortable request?" the manager asked as he took the keys.

"Actually, I'm not suited for this job," Lin Yi bowed again and said. "So I really appreciate your understanding."

The store manager was stunned for a moment, then his face darkened, and he felt very dissatisfied.

Are you already quitting after ruining an order? Did you just come to work today, and now you want to leave?

Anyone in his position would feel annoyed, right?

"Actually... I'm the son of a wealthy family."

Lin Yi raised his gaze to the angry manager and said with an apologetic expression, "I wanted to try being independent; I didn't want to rely on my parents anymore."

"I wanted to earn a living with my own hands and prove my worth."

"But... clearly, I can't do it... I'm not the type of person who can endure hardship, let alone do physical work."

"I really can't stand this kind of hard work."

"I'm very sorry for the problems I've caused you."

"I ruined the reputation of the business, and I feel very bad about that."

"So..."

Lin Yi took a thick envelope out of his pocket and handed it to the manager: "This is compensation for the damages... Please don't refuse it!"

The manager, seeing the envelope in front of him, was completely bewildered, not understanding what was happening.

Eh? You're a wealthy kid?

Are you going to work in my store just to experience life?

And now that you find life hard, you decide you don't want to continue with it?

You're really a unique case.

The manager felt a bit helpless in front of the young man.

But since Lin Yi had already apologized and offered sincere compensation, he couldn't say much.

Although his character wasn't the best, his integrity was quite good.

"So that's how things are... I was wondering why you had a different aura than other people," the manager said. "As for the compensation... it's not necessary. You haven't caused a great loss."

"Everyone has their own life... If you can't endure this life, just go back and live your own life without making hasty decisions out of anger."

"Life is very long... If you don't learn to be patient, it will be hard for you to move forward."

The manager, besides generously forgiving Lin Yi, also dignifiedly rejected the compensation.

For someone with so much life experience, money is secondary; the most rewarding thing is to see a young person regretful and change direction.

Lin Yi noticed that Ran was getting up from her seat and knew he couldn't delay any longer. If he did, he might cause more problems.

So, decisively, he pushed the money toward the manager and said sincerely: "Manager! I feel bad for not compensating for the damages I caused."

"Also, Sato-san delivered the order that was supposed to be mine and apologized to the customer for my mistake... I can't face him without offering him compensation as well."

Before the manager could say anything more, Lin Yi pushed him toward the delivery motorcycle and said, "You no longer have to refuse. This money is not a big deal for me, but it is for Sato-san."

Seeing Lin Yi's persistence, the store manager didn't refuse. He was very moved. This rich second generation is quite good.

"So, on behalf of Sato, thank you... Come visit us when you have time."

"I definitely will."

Lin Yi nodded and then watched as the manager rode away on the motorcycle.

Just then, Ran came out of the store and saw the "evil" manager leaving.

"Hey, wait! Wait!"

Ran thought she couldn't let him get away like that.

After calling him several times, but the manager showed no signs of stopping. Just when Ran was thinking about running to chase him and get justice for Lin Yi...

However, Ji Yi stopped her.

Lin Yi held her back and said, "Ran, forget it, forget it."
